Trapping them would be an ever ending chore, because they would continue to flourish here. Folks just have to keep the cats indoors and always leash their dogs and watch them carefully. Every time the subject dries up for a week or two, it is resurrected by a false claim of a cat being taken. As far as I have seen....there was one dog taken that was let out at midnight without a leash. An incident of a cat being taken was two women who said their cat went missing and they "assume" it was a coyote. It may have just run off. There have been incidents of sightings for sure. But, don't over worry about this, just keep a close watch on your animals. We are in mid Florida and there are many threats out there.

Thanks. We lived down south in Florida, and I was never afraid. Possums and such just walked along, and much everything else was afraid of the cats...rats, snakes. This is something new to me and it frightens me. They have never been out and I would never allow that, both for their safety and cleanliness, but the thought of something coming IN after them is just crazy.
